I get all my health care information from the Daily Mail and, to be honest, I don’t think it is any better or worse than reading the more pretentious press. Which is a way of introducing the Mail’s recent claim that artificial sweeteners are linked to much higher rates of heart attacks and some cancers.

I believe it because I can. And because the medical profession has been so wrong about everything, there is a good chance they will be praising sugar as a super-food before I pop my clogs. So I like to think I am ahead of the curve.
